Here's how I do it.
Start with some clean acorns.
Their hats tend to fall off, if the hats aren't loose, I like to twist/tilt them loose. It seems like they are going to fall off anyways, so why not beat them to it.
You can use glue to put the hats back on, I chose to use black puff paint. The acorns had some black discoloration and this blended right in.
I used nail polish to give them rosy cheeks.
I used a small tipped pen with waterproof ink to draw on their cute little eyes and mouths.
Here are a few with their dry cheeks and happy smiles.
To help preserve their faces and make them all shiny and nice, I painted a liberal coat of clear nail polish on the nuts.
Here they are all glossy and happy and done.
Lately I have been into painting the stems gold. I use Testers enamel paint (the kind for model cars etc...).
